Climbing 'Dechová stěnka' (grade 6-) at 'U bukovky' is an experience that truly lives up to its name, which translates to 'Breath Wall'. This classic sandstone route demands more than just brute strength; it requires finesse, precise footwork, and a steady mind to manage the sustained exposure. The climb typically starts with gentler moves, allowing you to warm up, but quickly transitions into its more demanding sections. Here, you'll find delicate slab climbing interspersed with technical sequences on good, but often spaced, holds. The rock, typical Czech sandstone, offers fantastic friction when dry, but every move needs to be thought through. The crux often feels like a series of continuous, balance-intensive problems rather than a single hard move. Reaching the top is immensely rewarding, not only for the satisfaction of completing a true test of skill but also for the spectacular views over the surrounding landscape of 'U bukovky'. It's a highly recommended ascent for anyone looking for a thoughtful, engaging sandstone challenge.
